Mother's Day Flowers

Being a Mom really is a full time job – a job that has no hour limitations, no vacations or breaks, so let this Mother’s Day be one she never forgets!  Surprise her with a stunning custom floral arrangement from willow & bloom.  Something fragrant perhaps with local organic lilac, roses and tulips or something more modern with fresh orchids from Thailand.

Whatever her style or your budget, we can create something magical that will amaze her. With a wonderful selection of cards, local jewelry designs and Theo chocolates (local to Fremont), we can help you create the perfect Mother’s Day gift.

For those of you wishing to send flowers to someone out of state, we can help you with that too. We work with high-end floral design studios all over the world, ensuring that every floral arrangement is created with the freshest flowers, a unique design, and attention to detail.  So call us, drop by our Seattle shop, or order online for delivery. Let mom know you are thinking about her this Mother’s Day!

Mom – She was there for our first step, our first word and the first day of school.  She was the one who packed our lunches, shuttled us around town and tucked us in at night… she has been there for it all.  So what better way to thank her than with a beautiful willow & bloom custom designed arrangement?

Spring has sprung and everywhere you look nature is bursting into bloom!  The warm sunshine filled days are hinting to us that summer is fast approaching.  For those of us yearning for more spring blossoms, it is not too late.  Why not share the fragrance of hyacinth or the warmth of tulips and daffodils?  In fact, May Day is just around the corner.

Traditionally, May First falls approximately half-way between the spring equinox and the summer solstice and marks the transition from spring to summer.  We love the tradition of making baskets of flowers and leaving them on the front step of someone we admire and why shouldn’t we share flowers with someone we think is great?!  There’s no better way to make someone’s day then by sending them flowers “just because.”

Show someone you care about them and bring a smile to their face by giving them flowers this May Day!

With the large amount of interest we have in our potted orchids, we wanted to share some basic orchid care tips which apply to most of the varieties we carry.

Tricks of the trade:

- The problem most people have has to do with getting the plants to re-bloom. Orchids will respond to slight temperature and light changes by blooming. So, to help your orchid re-bloom, place your orchid in more direct light when it is ready to bloom again. It might take a few weeks, but it should start sending out new bloom shoots.

- There are a few ways people water their orchids. Some will mist their orchids, others will just pour water into the pot, while some even soak the orchid. We recommend avoiding the misting of the plant. The water left on the leaves will attract the sunlight and cause the leaves to burn.

- It is best to water your orchid in the mornings, so as to give it most of the day to let the sun dry it out again. We also prefer the soaking method. If you let the water run through the pot or soak it, you know that the water is making it all the way to the roots of the plant.

As you can see, it is quite simple to keep your orchids healthy and fabulous. With a little water and light they will flourish and you will be able to enjoy this stunning and unique plant for years.
